A College " Poem."
The following " poem" comes from
Wheaton College, Illinois. 'Some of the
Latin is rather original, but it requires
only a moderate familiarity with that lan
guage to get a tolerable understanding of
the 44 lingo:"
TALE OF A POSSUM.
The nox was lit by lux of luna,
And 'twas a nox most opportuna
To catch a po.-surn or a coona;
For nix was scattered o'er this mundus
A shallow nix et non profundus.
On sic a nox with canis unus,
Two boys went out to hunt for coonua,
The corpus of this bonus canis
Was full as long as octo span is;
But brevis Ipjis had canis never.
Quam had hie dog; bonus, clever.
Some used to say in stuitum jocura
Quod a field w too small locum
For sic a dog lo mike a turnus
Circuin self from stem to sternus.
Uni3 can??, duo paer,
Nunqnam braver, nunquam truer,
Quam hoc triounquam fuit.
If there was I nver knew it.
II ic bonus dog had one bad habit,
Amabat much to tree a rabbit,
Anvibat plus to tree a rattus,
Amabat bene ch:)se a cittus.
On this nixy moonlight night
This old canis did just rijlxt,
Nunquam treed a starving rattu?,
Nunquam chased a starving cattus,
But cucurrit or intenim?,
On ihe track and on the sccntus.
Till he treed a possum tlrongucn
In a hollow trunkum longum.
Loud he barked in horrid bellum,
Seemed on terra venit helium.
Quickly ran the duo purer,
Mors of p;srU!ii to secure,
Quum venerint, one bgan
To chop away like quisque man.
Soon the axe went through the trumcum.
Soon he hit it, per, cher, chunkum,
Combat thicken; on ye bravus!
Canip,j)urer, bite, et Btavus,;
As his powers non longus tarry,
Possum protest non pugnarc.
On the nix his corpus lieih.
Down to Hades ep:rit flieth.
Joyful purerc, canis bonus
Think him dead as any stonus.
Aint his corpus like a jelly.
Quid plus proof ought hunter vellel
Now ttfey seek their pater's domo.
Feeling proud as any homo,
Knowing certe they will blossom
Into heroes when with possum
They arrive, narrabunt story,
PJenue blood, et plentor glory.
Pompey, David, Samson, Ca;sar,
Cyrus, Blackhawk, Shalmanezer!
Tell me uhere est now the gloria,
Where the honors of Victoria,
Quum at domum narrent story,
PJenus sanguine, tragic gory.
Pater praiseth, likewise mater; '
Wonders greatly younger frater.
Poscum leave they on the mundus,
Go themselves to sleep profundus.
Somniunt poasum slain in battle
Strong as ursae, large as caitle.
When nox gives way to lux of morning,
Albam terram much adorning.
Up they jump to 6ee the varmen.
Of the which quid est the carmen.
Possum hie est resurrectum,
Leaving puers mot dejectum
Possum relinquit track behind him,
Sed the piirers never find him.
Cruel possum! bestu vilest!
How the purers tu beguilest.
Purers think nen plus of Caisar,
Go to gramen, Shalmanezer!
Take your laurel, cum the honor,
Since ista possum is a goner.
And now 1 11 leave the language brindle,
And will wind up on a spindle,
. Made of English every bit.
And I'll try and draw a moral
That with possum tale won't quarrel.
We the people of this nation
Killed a beast we called secession,
And 'tis known the ugly creaiure
Seemed a possum in each feature;'
What the moral i, you can guess it,
So it' useless to express it.

The New York Tribune.
The followiug brief sketch of the New
York Tribune is taken from the Morning
Post. As the editors of the latter jour
nal are said to have been recently con
nected with the Tribune, the statements
contaiuud thereio may be set down as re
liable: " The New York Tribune has over
three hundred editors, reporters and cor
respondents. Amos J. Cummings has
charge of the City Department, and has
well earned his reputation. Dr. John IJ.
"Wood is his principal assistant Mr. J.
C. Warner, formerly of Philadelphia, at
tends to the base ball and chess, and
does some of the best reports of the races.
Mr. MacAIpine, also a Philadelphia, is
on the City staff. John P. Foley is one
of the most trusted on the same depart
ment. Mr. George O. Selhcinier, lately
of Charabcrsburg, has charge of news de
partment of Weekly. Mr. V. 13. Dens
low, late of the Chicago Tribune, is one
of the new strong writers in politics.
Prof. A. S. Schetn, formerly of Carlisle
College, Penna., is the principal foreign
editor, and knows twenty different lan
guages. Mr. J. R. P. Hassard, somt
time ago managing editor of the Chicago
Republican, is one of the fiuest writers
on the paper, and shares with Mr. Chas.
T. Coogdon the reputation of the satire
and the brilliaucy. A. D. Richardson is
a stockholder and a special correspondent.
James R. Young is the Washington edi
tor, with Fix men to help him. Clarence
Cook docs the art criticism, and some of
the best editorials, and William Winter
is the theatrical critic. The place of
Kane O'Donnell, who was musical critic,
and has gone to Mexico, has not yet been
filled. Ralp Meeker, a quaint and forci
ble writer, attends to the agriculture, Ed
ward II. Clements, of Boston, is the
night news editor, vice Cummings trans
ferred to the City Department. Mr.
Clements writes capital verse. S. J.
Clark is the financial editor. Mr. F. J.
Ottarson has left the paper. Samuel
Sinclair, the publisher, has the supreme
charge of the business. Dr. George Rip
ley is the literary editor. Most of these
gentlemen have assistants. Horace Gree
ley, who by some people is supposed to
write very little, writes more than any
other man on his staff, and has been
known to come in the office at night and
say that he wautcd the whole editorial
page. John -R.. Youug, the managing
editor, holds an editorial meeting daily,
at which he receives a report from each
department, and determines the character
of the next day's paper. Mr. Young
writes a great deal on American politics,
and made his reputrtioo when he first
went to New York by a six-column re
view of Buchanan's administration. It
is said his political essays will be soon
printed in book form."
An Eventful Career.
A few days ago there died ki this city
a woman whose life has been a strange
admixture of opulence and indigence.
Her name was Theresa De Noyer, a na
tive of Montreal, Canada, and a decend
ant of a very old family of that name.
She came to this city some thirty years
ago, being at the time a young lady, to
visit some relatives living in the vicinity
of Portland. While here she moved a
gceat deal in society, and met a man of
whom she became enamored, and finally
eloped with him to New Orleans. Ev
ery inducement was held out by her
friends for her return, but she refused to
listen to their counsels. To avoid their
constant solicitations, and fearing they
would go after her, she removed, with
her paramour, to Rua an Island, in the
bay of Honduras, and in time became ve
ry wealthy. Her betrayer died there,
and she was shortly afterward stripped of
their property by an unprincipled En
glishman, and was thrown upon the char
ity of the captain of a fruit schooner for
a passage to the States. She arrived in
New Orleans in 1850, 'penniless, but has
since been possessed of property to the
amount of 8100,000,' but misfortune
again overtook her, and she returned to
this city at the close of the war, where
she lived in abject poverty. She died at
th age of fifty-four, destitute of money
or friends. 44 Such is life." Louisville
Courier.
A Judicial Solomon Decides a Cow
Case. In Dayton, Ohio, recently, a
man aud a woman laid separate claims to
a cow. Each proved by a crowd of wit
nesses that the other. was at fault and
each proved, too, their respectability and
integrity. Under such circumstances it
became evident that both were honest iu
their claims, and the justice, with the
wisdom of a Solomon, directed the cow
to be sent into a fold with others. The
man tried all his . persuasive powers, but
the cow would not recognize him. Then
the woman called out, 44 Polly!" aud the
intelligent animal scattered the crowd
that surrounded her and broke for tht
woman, where she rubbed her nose
against her mistress,, overjoyed to find
her. The justice decided the cow was
hers. - ,
. Canned Fruit.
The Revenue, Inspector's of this sec
tion are busy looking after canned fruit.
They claim that each can requires a stamp
and we hear they contemplate seizing
some now offered for sale on the streets.

A National Thanksgiving.
proclamation by the president.
The following proclamation has been
isiu d by the PrcsidenS :
In conformity with a recent custom that
may now be regarded as established on
national consent and approval, I, Andrew
Johnson, President ot the United States,
do hereby recommend to my fellow-citi-
cens that Thursday, the 28th day of No
vember next, to be set apart and obserr
ed throughout the Republic as a day of
national thanksgiving and praise to the
Almighty Ruler of nations with whom
arc dominion and fear, and who makes
peace in His high places, resting aud re
fraining from secular labor on that day.
Let us reverently and devoutly give
thanks to-our Ileavculy Father for the
mercies and blessings which He has
crowned the now closing year; especially
let us remember that He has caused in
dustry to prosper not only to our fields,
but also in our forests. He has permitted
us to multiply ships upon our lakes snd
rivers, and at the same time to extend our
iron roads so far into the secluded places
of the continent as to guarantee speedy
overland intercourse between the two
oceans. He has inclined our hearts
to turn away from domestic contentions
and commotions consequent, upon a dis
tracting and desolate civil war, and to
walk more and more in the ancient ways
of loyalty, conciliation and brotherly love.
He has blessed the peaceful efforts with
which we have established new and im
portant commercial treaties with foreign
nations, fthile we have, at the same time,
strengthened our national defenses and
greatly enlarged our national borders.
While thus rendering the unanimous and
heartfelt tribute of national -praise and
thanksgiving which is justly due to Al
mighty God, let us not fail to implore
Him that the same Divine protection and
care which we have hitherto so unobserv
edly and yet so constantly enjoyed may
be continued to our country and our people
through all the generations for ever.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the Uni
ted States to be affixed. Done at the city
of Washington, the sixteenth day of
October, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty
l.s.J seven, and of the independence of
the United States the ninety-second.

Nearness of Death.
When we walk near powerful machin
ery, we know that one misstep, and those
mighty engines will tear us to ribbons
with their filing wheels, or grind us to
powder in their ponderous jaws. So
when we are thundering across the land
in a rail-car, and there is nothing but an
inch of iron flange to hold us on the track.
So when we are in a ship and there is
nothing but the thickness of a plank
between us and eternity. We imagine
then that we see how close we are to the
edge of the precipice. Rut we do not see
it. Whether on the laud, the partition
that divides us from eternity is something
less than the oak plank, or half an inch of
iron flange. The machinery of life and
death is within us. The tissues that hold
the beating powers iu their place are of
ten not thicker than a piece of paper, and
if that thin partition ruptures, it would
be the same with us as if a cannon ball
struck us. Death is inseperably bound up
with life in the vary structure of our bod
ies. Struggle's he would to widen the
space, no man can, at any time, go far
ther from death than the thickness of a
piece of paper.
To Keep Sweet Potatoes over Winter.
The farmers in this region of country
have great difficulty in keeping sweet po
tatoes through winter. A "Jerseyman,"
who was partly raised in a sweet potatoe
"patch," informs us how they keep their
potatoes in Jersey. We ate a few days
ago a potato of last year's production,
brought from Jersey, and it was 44just as
good as new." The Jerseytnen have long
since discarded the different modes of
packing in saud, leaves, saw dust, or say
thing else. . They simply dig their pota
toes iu a dry spell, before frost, lay them
out on the ground to dry in the sun, and
before the dew of evening begins to fall
they haul out to the "patch" the boxes
and barrels they propose to put the pota
toes in, and lay them carefully, handling
them all the while as carefully as eggs,
so as not to bruise them.) They then
hual tkem to the houfe and pile up the
boxes and barrels in a corner of the kitch
en carefully, so as not to bruise them ; and
if kept at the right temperature through
the winter they are bound to keep, if you
don't eat them.
. Obeying Orders.
An individual was once brought before
the poliee court in Cincinnati, charged
with assult and battery. He frankly ad
mitted that he struck his antagonist, but
said, in extenuation, that the man had
called him a liar; 4'and," continued he
4moy it please the court, I was born in
Livingston, in the Stato of New York.
There, when a man says you're a liar, yon
call him a liar back, and there s the end
of it. Rut your honor, I have lived for
fifteen years on the Wabash, and there,
when a man calls you a liar, you knock
hitn down at once. I only obeyed my
Wabash instructions." Fined one dollar
